Maybe it takes a few months to add new photos once you've deleted a bunch off of your blog; I don't know, but now I can't get photos onto my new blog - it is some sort of malfunction. So, I will post pictures here for now and maybe there too if I can get it to work. I guess I should be happy to be able to post photos here now, but it was somewhat of a pain to start an entire new blog. Anyway, here are some photos I never posted from Thanksgiving with my family. The nieces made crowns for all of us to wear to one of their performances. I LOVED that they made a crown for the 6-week-old. I was so spoiled to get to hold that little chubby cuteness quite a bit while we were there and she is such a sweet-natured baby!
Since, it's January, I started evaluating how my year had gone and what I had accomplished. All I wrote for my New Year's Resolution last year was a quote I had found, "If it is important to you, you will find a way. If not, you will find an excuse." I put together some photos of what we did last year...things that apparently were important to us: going skiing with the kids, swimming lessons, soccer, my girls' trip, buying a piano and getting Kennedy in piano lessons, visiting Yellowstone, family camping trips, going hiking, growing a garden, making homemade suckers, participating in Kennedy's Pumpking Fair and making gingerbread houses. I was a little surprised at all we did as a family last year. It was a lot of fun!
I knew I also wanted to get some more sewing and crafting projects done last year and again, I was really surprised at how much I really did get done. Here are most of my projects that I finished: toy bags, toothbrush bags, baby blankies, Easter dress, ties, rossette wreath, skirts, p.j.'s, car seat cover, ponies, and a leopard costume. The crazy part is I still have at least 3 sewing projects started that need to be finished!!!
Physically, and with the help of my trusty camera, it is easy to see all I have accomplished. Spiritually it is a little harder to see. However, as I've pondered on my relationship with my Heavenly Father, I feel like this past year, maybe even just these past 4 months I have really learned to accept God's will. In the past, I have tried to convince God that He should bless me with certain things or I try really hard to figure out WHY things happen as they do. But recently, I feel like I have really come to TRUST that God does know what's best for me and I don't have to understand WHY things happen the way they do or WHY He would want me to be the Primary President. I am getting better at accepting; not perfect, mind you, but better.
